| Summary: | In this article, three differing approaches to faith representation will be presented. Sawai Chinnawong uses a traditional Thai art form, while Arnan Moontrakorn utilizes an amalgamated approach to Thai and Modern art. Jompol Puatawee, while using Thai imagery in his contemporary art style, does not reference traditional symbols. The artists featured, while all representing their Christian faith, do not use obvious Christian symbolism. As this article shows, Thai Christians can accept Thai traditional art as a useful medium for presenting Christian ideas, and these works of art are understood to have a Christian message. |
